The temporary suspension of board positions, introduced by the so-called Second Act on Equal Participation of Men and Women in Management Positions (FüPoG II), allows executive board members and managing directors in certain life situations, such as maternity leave, parental leave, care for family members, or illness, to have their appointment temporarily revoked and be reappointed at a later time. The law stems from the #stayonboard initiative, with Dr. Tobias de Raet (lawyer and partner at law firm lindenpartners, Berlin) being one of the co-initiators of this initiative. On 20 November 2024 he illustrated the history behind this regulation, its application to various legal forms and corporate bodies, as well as the challenges and practical implications in corporate practice.
